Broadcast Craft Jury
ICAD Awards 2020
Keith Hutchinson
Jury Chariperson
Stone wall building, online book publishing, vegetable cultivating, West-Cork island
hopping, beard growing and cooking up a storm are just some of the things that keep
Keith entertained when he’s not otherwise occupied with advertising.
Born in Saatchi’s Dublin and reared in Irish International he left his agency homes
with the dream of traveling the world, living interesting experiences, finding great
stories and creating strong emotive imagery. Becoming a commercial’s Director has
allowed him to live that dream.
Keith is a strong advocate of the mantra that a good idea can come from anywhere
or anybody. All you have to do is open your ears, open your eyes, empty your mind
of pre-conceived judgements, and let it in.
Keith is Founder, Partner, Director and Executive Creative Producer at H2 Films.

Liam Wielopolski
Judge
Liam’s career all began in the darkness of an Edit Suite. He then swiftly grew to be a fully-fledged art director and then a creative director within some of South Africa’s top creative hothouses. Now he is responsible for maintaining the high creative bar at Core in Dublin, Ireland.
Having cut his teeth on global brands such as Guinness, Heineken, Land Rover, Virgin Atlantic Airways and P&G, he is more than ready to once again take on his favourite challenge of building an agency of strong creative thinkers, producing great results with great creative work.
Both in his own right as an art director and as the lead of several creative departments, he has collected an impressive array of Lions, Pencils and statues from international and local award shows.
In his spare time he likes to chase a little white ball with a big stick around beautifully manicured lawns.
